squirt and led the dashed followers il an
apparently easy Canter, Winning by
length and half, with CheatfellOw SEC

BeIIVllIe's Prospects.

It seems that the Taylor, Bastrop ard
Houston Railway has not entirely for
saken Bellville after all. In recent let
ter to DR.. Gardner, Colonel j. A. Hooper,
proposes to build a tap rosd from some
point on the main line to Bellville. Last
Tuesday DR.. Gardner and Mr.. G. +. He'll
muth drove over to Cat Spring and
interviewed Colonel Hooper on
the subject. He informed them
that as soon as the main line
was completed TO Houston, which would
be some time this fall, that it was the in
tention of the company to build feeders
between La Gtsnge and Sealy, and that in
all probability branch would run from
Cat Spring via BellYille and Chappell
Hill to the town of old Washington on
the Brazos river, and that all the company
would require of Bellyille would be the
right of way through the county
from Cat Spring to B9llville and
depot grounds. He spoke as
if in earnest about the matter, and the
returned feeling confident
that Bellville' had lost nothing by not Sc
curing the main line. a tap road from
that point will not iDjure the town and
the benefit would be just as great. This
route Is through splendid agricultural
country and would pay handsomely

There are no new developments in the

Wild Man Captured.

Wild man Captured
Special to the Gazette.
TAYLOR, TEX, May 24.-The train
robbery excitement Tas renewed
here last night by the report that
our vigilant Sheriff, John Olive, had
arrested in all seven men. Accompany
ing this report it is said that ore man
gave the others sway, which caused the
arrest of five to be made at once, and that
other arrests will follow till all are taken
in. Among the men arrested, il is said,
is one of our former sheriffS. This eX-
officer left here several years ago and left
several indictments against him. These
robbers are worth capturing now, since
the reward is $1,000 each.
Ex-City Marshal T. c. Smith and one
Lockhart, who have been on the trail of
the robbers for four days, returned yes
terday without any hope Of capturing the
highwaymen. These are the last of our
men to give up the chase.
Last night City Marshal Johnson was
summoned hurriedly to come to the Fifth
ward, as there was wild man on the
warpath. When the marshal arrived ne
found a railroad man with al ak in hand
drawn to strike, and he had the crowd
rounded up in the house. He was just
making mis- way in when the marshal
arrested him, and finding him crazy he
